Cover The Post-Soviet as Post-Colonial
The Post-Soviet as Post-Colonial
A New Paradigm for Understanding Constitutional Dynamics in the Former Soviet Empire
William Partlett and Herbert Küpper

This book describes the collapse of the Soviet Union as a moment of decolonization and the post-1991 constitution-building experience as a postcolonial one. Partlett and Küpper’s application of the post-colonial paradigm to the former Soviet world adds new facets to post-colonial constitutional theory by presenting a third type of (ideology-based) colonialism and a third type of decolonization.

Cover Constitutional Precedent in US Supreme Court Reasoning
Constitutional Precedent in US Supreme Court Reasoning
David Schultz
Precedent is an important tool of judicial decision making and reasoning in common law systems such as the United States. Instead of having each court decide cases anew, the rule of precedent or stares decisis dictates that similar cases should be decided similarly. Adherence to precedent promotes several values, including stability, reliability, and uniformity, and it also serves to constrain judicial discretion. While adherence to precedent is important, there are some cases where the United States Supreme Court does not follow it when it comes to constitutional reasoning. Over time the US Supreme Court under its different Chief Justices has approached rejection of its own precedent in different ways and at varying rates of reversal. This book examines the role of constitutional precedent in US Supreme Court reasoning.

Cover The Euro Crisis and Constitutional Pluralism
The Euro Crisis and Constitutional Pluralism
Financial Stability but Constitutional Inequality
Tomi Tuominen
This insightful book assesses the theory of constitutional pluralism in light of the events of the Eurozone crisis of the past decade. Based on an analysis of how national courts reviewed the crisis response mechanisms and participated in the European-level political process, Tomi Tuominen argues that constitutional pluralism is not a valid normative theory of European constitutionalism.
